Question:

The following three-step mechanism has been proposed for the reaction of chlorine and chloroform.

(1) Cl(g) k1 k-1 (2) Cl(g) + CHCl3(g) (3) CC13(g) + Cl(g) 2 Cl(g) k3 k2 HCl(g) + CC13(g) CC14(g)

The numerical values of the rate constants for these steps are k1 = 4.8 x 103 ; k-1 = 3.6 x 103 ; k2 = 1.3 x 10-2; k3 = 2.7 x 102. Derive the rate law and the magnitude of k for the overall reaction.
